I
love playing with new stuff, and there was plenty to play with at
this year's American Society of Cataract and Refractive
Surgeons conference in San Diego. I was like a kid in a candy
store, only I was looking at eye drops instead of gumdrops and
lasers instead of licorice. Here's some of what caught my eye.

TrueGuide v10
The TrueGuide is really
3 tools in one. There's
pre-operative informa-
tion management and planning, an
intra-operative microscope, and over-
lay and dynamic customization. The
heads-up display is helpful from an
ergonomic standpoint, and it lets the
whole OR see exactly what you're
doing. The 3D visualization is tremendous. It also stores a tremendous
amount of information — just about everything that might possibly be
helpful. All in all, it's definitely fun to play with and it's going to pro-
vide a benefit when it comes to astigmatism location.
